I have been to St. John's Virgin Island but have never been to Jamaica.
I love the music and I love to hear the people talk. Most important, now, that there exists a Rain Forest close to home. We know many medicinal plants have been found in the Rain Forest of South America. I can not wonder what lies in Jamaica's rain forest? Or is it slowly disappearing from the island, for the sake of building "Resorts" for tourists?
"Jamaica's climate is tropical, supporting diverse ecosystems with a wealth of plants and animals.
Jamaica's plant life has changed considerably over the centuries. When the Spanish arrived in 1494, except for small agricultural clearings, the country was deeply forested. The European settlers cut down the great timber trees for building and ships' supplies, and cleared the plains, savannas, and mountain slopes for intense agricultural cultivation. Many new plants were introduced including sugarcane, bananas, and citrus trees."

Here are just two healing plants that we have available for us to use for our well being. Allspice is one, I think, I will make sure I have on hand as you read, you will understand why.
ALLSPICE: Jamaicans call it 'pimento berries' it contains eugenol, a powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial compound proven to kill germs on contact. It even zaps bacteria that creates food poisoning like E. coli and salmonella. Studies done in Japan show it can help stop growth of cancer cells.
VERVAIN- contain a chemical called hispidulin which opens airways to ease wheezing. It also contains tannins which act as germ killing antiseptic in the body. Also, it contains sedative properties to calm the nervous system. Jamaicans have used this flower for a long time to quell coughs and respiratory issues.
Just two healing foods from Jamaica and there are more. Why not do your own research to see that Jamaica has more to offer than just a place to visit. Or better yet, why not go there to see the Rain Forest where Mother Nature's has her health food store!www.theenergycenter.org
